The development and progression of CVD is directly linked to adverse vascular hemodynamics and biomechanics, whose in-vivo measurement remains challenging but can be simulated numerically and experimentally. The ability to evaluate these parameters in patient-specific CVD cases is crucial to better predict future disease progression, risk of adverse events, and treatment efficacy. While significant progress has been made toward patient-specific hemodynamic simulations, blood vessels are often assumed to be rigid, which does not consider the compliant mechanical properties of vessels whose malfunction is implicated in disease. In an effort to simulate the biomechanics of flexible vessels, fluid-structure interaction (FSI) simulations have emerged as promising tools for the characterization of hemodynamics within patient-specific cardiovascular anatomies. Since FSI simulations combine the blood's fluid domain with the arterial structural domain, they pose novel challenges for their experimental validation. This paper reviews the scientific work related to FSI simulations for patient-specific arterial geometries and the current standard of FSI model validation including the use of compliant arterial phantoms, which offer novel potential for the experimental validation of FSI results.","PeriodicalId":39235,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering","volume":"17 ","pages":"280-296"},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40341837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radar is a popular sensor for vital sign monitoring research. Various algorithms have been proposed for estimating respiration rate and heart rate from the radar data. But many algorithms rely on Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert time domain signal to the frequency domain and estimate vital signs, despite FFT having limitation of frequency resolution being inverse of the time interval of data sample. However, there are other spectral estimation algorithms, which have not been much researched into the suitability of vital sign estimation using radar signals. In this paper, we compared eight different types of spectral estimation algorithms, including FFT, for respiration rate and heart rate estimation of stationary subjects in a controlled environment. The evaluation is based on extensive data consisting of different stationary subject positions. Considering the results, the eligibility of algorithms other than FFT for respiration rate and heart rate estimation is demonstrated. Using this work, researchers can get an overview on which algorithm is suitable for their work without the need to review individual algorithms separately.","PeriodicalId":39235,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering","volume":"17 ","pages":"297-309"},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2022-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33498023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For some of these diseases, proper medications, and vaccinations are missing and the early detection of these viruses will be critical to saving the patients. And even the vaccines are available for COVID-19, the new variants of COVID-19 such as Delta, and Omicron are spreading at large. The available virus detection techniques take a long time, are costly, and complex and some of them generates false negative or false positive that might cost patients their lives. The biosensor technique is one of the best qualified to address this difficult challenge. In this systematic review, we have summarized recent advancements in biosensor-based detection of these pandemic viruses including COVID-19. Biosensors are emerging as efficient and economical analytical diagnostic instruments for early-stage illness detection. They are highly suitable for applications related to healthcare, wearable electronics, safety, environment, military, and agriculture.

Electrical stimulation has been known to have a positive effect on wound healing since the 1960s and this has been confirmed in numerous studies, reducing the time to heal, and the incidence of adverse events such as infections. However, because each study used different parameters for the treatment, inclusion criteria and metrics for quantifying the success, it is currently hard to combine them statistically and gain a true picture of its efficacy. As such, electrical stimulation has not been universally adopted as a recommended treatment for various types of wound. This paper summarises the biological basis for electrical simulation treatment and reviews the clinical evidence for its effectiveness. Notable is the lack of research focused on the electrodes used to deliver electrostimulation treatment. However, a significant amount of work has been conducted on electrodes for other medical applications in the field of e-textiles. This e-textile work is reviewed with a focus on its potential in electrostimulation and proposals are made for future developments to improve future studies and applications for wound healing via electrical stimulation.","PeriodicalId":39235,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Reviews in Biomedical Engineering","volume":"17 ","pages":"264-279"},"PeriodicalIF":17.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40379722","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over 75% of the world's mobile phone subscriptions reside in LMICs, hence making the mobile phone particularly relevant to mHealth deployment in Africa. This study is aimed at determining the scope of the literature available on hypertension diagnosis and management in Africa, with particular emphasis on determining the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of interventions based on the use of mobile phones. The bulk of the evidence considered overwhelmingly shows that SMS technology is yet the most used medium for executing interventions in Africa.

To solve this problem, AI models need to be explained to users. Thus, we have conducted a comprehensive study of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) using PRISMA technology. Our findings suggest that XAI can improve model performance, instill trust in the users, and assist users in decision-making. In this systematic review, we introduce common XAI techniques and their utility with specific examples of their application. We discuss the evaluation of XAI results because it is an important step for maximizing the value of AI-based clinical decision support systems.

Finally, we provide a best practice guideline that developers can refer to during the model experimentation.
